WHAT ARE LEECH SOCKS?
Why do I need protection against leeches?
Land leeches live on the ground or in low foliage in wet rainforests. Most leeches are sanguivorous, that is they feed as blood sucking parasites on preferred hosts.
How do anti-leech socks protect me?
Leeches will try to find a place that is body-warm and have a tendency to crawl down your legs towards your feet. Anti-leech socks reach to your knees and are made from a tightly knit fabric. By wearing leech socks the leech will get trapped between your leech sock and your footwear. The socks help to protect your feet and help to prevent leeches from crawling up your trouser legs. Leech socks also help you to spot any leeches on your lower legs. Our light coloured socks make it easy to spot them.
How do I wear leech socks?
Our anti-leech socks are made from 100% cotton. The sock is worn over your normal sock and over your trousers. Our leech socks come in two sizes and are machine-washable.
